Vaska – Photo Culling & Import

Vaska is the simple way to get photos from your camera's SD card into Photos on your Mac – and only the ones worth keeping.

Insert the memory card and look at each photo in turn. Press P to keep a photo, and Vaska moves on to the next one. When you're done, click Import: the photos you kept go straight into your Photos library, in a new album if you like. Everything else stays on the card.

GO THROUGH A CARD ONE PHOTO AT A TIME • A large view of each photo, with a filmstrip below • Keep a photo with P, and Vaska moves on to the next one • Zoom to 100% with Z, a click or a pinch to check focus • Swipe with two fingers to move between photos • Rotate photos with Command-R, like in Photos – only the imported copy is turned • Everything works from the keyboard, and every change can be undone

SEE EVERYTHING AT A GLANCE • A grid like the one in Photos, with square or whole thumbnails • Select several photos and keep them all at once • Kept photos get a checkmark, like selected photos in Photos • Photos that are already in your library are marked as imported, so you never import the same photo twice • Show all photos, only the new ones or only the ones you kept

IMPORT ONLY YOUR KEEPERS • Import into a new album, an existing album or just your library • Or copy them to any folder, for example on an external drive, in a new folder named after the dates • RAW+JPEG pairs are imported together, as one photo in Photos • Import progress in the sidebar and in the Dock, and a notification when it's done • Eject the card from Vaska when you're finished

WORKS WITH YOUR CARDS AND CAMERAS • SD, microSD, CFexpress and other memory cards, in the built-in SD card slot or a card reader • JPEG, HEIC and the RAW formats that macOS supports • Or choose File > Open Folder for photos that are already on your Mac

MADE FOR THE MAC • Designed for macOS, with Dark Mode, full screen and VoiceOver • Can open automatically when you insert a memory card • Never changes or deletes anything on the card • No account, no tracking and no data collection

"Vaska" is Swedish for panning for gold: the gravel is washed away and the nuggets are left. That's what Vaska does with your photos.
